    "O.k. In this segment we're going to cover, removing the passenger side rear back rest. For the back seat. First thing we have to do, as we did on the other side. Before we're going to remove the back rest. We have to remove the carpet from it. This section of carpet is for the hatch back. And steamed like the rear trunk or hatch back carpet. And it's a separate identity from the actual interior carpet. Because once the seats are folded up, there's a divider that goes in the hatch back. And it's actually sealed off, from the rest of the interior compartment. When it's in that load. But if you want to keep the continuity, just say of the vehicle together. this will be a separate carpet identity. If you want to replace it. And so, you've got matching new carpets. Both front and rear. But also keep in mind, that's not really available to the occupants on the interior of the car. When the equipment's installed. So following the same procedure, using our tool. We'll release the push pins. And in our previous, we removed about six of the or four of the six. That are necessary to get it. Then sliding upwards, pull the bracket off, on this clipper. We'll just fold that back another way. Once again, we've got that spacer pin. That's located on the outside of the seat. And sometimes, you can remove with your fingers. And sometimes, you have to use pliers. There's a spacer pin. We'll set that aside. Now that allows us to push the seat over. And when we push it over, it comes off the mail end, on to the fitting on this side. And we can just simply, slide the seat out. Once again, we're going to want to set this aside. Clean, dry environment along with the spacer pin, it locks it in. Now in our next segment, we're going to cover moving the bench portion. And other rear seat. It's a one piece unit. So the rear seat kind of, breaks down into three components. You've got the two back rests and the actual seat cushion, itself. So please watch our next segment. And we'll cover removing our rear seat cushion."
